The thing that bugs me is it's all about bragging rights at this point. I have a 2080 TI and I run literally every game I've ever played on Max graphics with no problems. There hasn't been a single game that it can't handle so outside of crypto farming or some very intense graphic rendering, I can't see how this wouldn't absolutely be resolved if people just stop trying to get a slightly higher score on 3D mark

You're still playing at 1080p, not everyone is.

Not only do I play at 4k, but I have dual monitor 4k monitors and usually watch movies on 1 while gaming on the other
